Chapter 2: About the Operation
Modes
This device provides operational applications with AP and Gateway modes, which are
mutually exclusive. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced
configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility
provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.
Access Point Mode
When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only
the Access Point has the Internet connection.
Gateway Mode
When GW mode is selected, the Router will enter the gateway mode. And the wireless
connection will be set up from a point-to-point local LAN into a point-to-multipoint WAN.

Chapter 3: Configuration
Login
1. Start your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the Wireless
Router.
2. Make sure your wired station is set to the same subnet as the Wireless Router, i.e.
10.10.10.254
3. Start your WEB browser. In the Address box, enter the following: http://10.10.10.254
4. Please enter the username “admin” and the password for login.
The configuration menu is divided into four folders: Internet Settings, Wireless Settings,
Firewall, and Administration. Click on the desired setup item to expand the folder in the
main navigation page. The setup pages covered in this utility are described below.

Fragment
Threshold
Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when
high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the 802.11g
MIMO Wireless Router often transmit large files in wireless network,
you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The
value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.

roblem is an issue
,
p
lease
20
specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the
data size exceeds the value you set.. The default value is 2347.
Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network
overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance
instead of providing a remedy.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are
recommended.
